IMHO, no, you don't need any more finish and the BLO is renewable once the table gets scratched, etc. "Durable" is a relative term that five people will have six different definitions about!

Very nice DP table, BTW. Mine is similar but not as nice looking... ;)

Nice lookin' accessory for your drill press, Tom! By the way, what method did you use to flatten the top?

Very nice table. I have a crude table just like it; design only. Unfinished Birch Ply!

FANTASTIC utilization of your scraps, tom! you've just given me a great idea on what to do with them besides saving them up for kindling!

Nice work, that is a great looking drill press table. Gave me a couple ideas as well. Thanks for posting.
